You guys can figure out how to polish it. Best I can do is matte finish. Masters of Lot-O ?? Fast coarse tumble. 5 days, no pre-grind preparation. SiC 30 at a lazy 30 RPM. Barrel full of agate. Some biggish. NO FROST ! Representative of the before After, in sun light. Looks like green grapes. Alien green. Lots of no-fracture ones.

Must agree Ann. I am guessing it is natural. Certain it came from overseas. Fine material, better if the polish happens. It was not cheap, I believe it was $27 ppd for 2.5 pounds. Slabbable piece sure would make some yummy cabs.

Wow, that is some fantastic coloring! Reminds me of Mountain Dew, which is odd as I don't drink the stuff! Did you order it off a site or from a contact? I couldn't do it justice, but still it looks so cool!
Edit: Found your previous post, eBay. It's at $29.95 now. Ouch.

If it is a natural serpentine stone it should be sawn for cabs. The quality was real nice. That's it, Mountain Dew. Nailed the color on that one.

Not all their prices are bad, gotta catch'em on sale, like right now. I have ordered from this Ebay seller before. Not bad stuff, pieces kinda big maybe.
